I love that life throws them at you from time to time. It keeps things from getting mundane and makes you continually think. Without them, I don't think life would be any fun at all.

Take my recent battles with financial aid, I could:

a) not deal with it & drop out of school.b) get pissed off & go on a rampage at the financial aid headquarters.c) get mad, organize my thoughts, laugh a little bit & then take them on.d) drink heavily and do a) or b) anyway.

So, I have chosen path c). Less messy and overall, more effective. So, hopefully everything will work out for the better in a month or so and that they as well as myself will learn valuable lessons going forward.

Lots of changes going on around me and also within me. I am directing what I can in directions that I want them to go. How manipulative of me! Well, trust me when I say that I have very little control over the things that do not directly involve me, but that is something that I am okay with at this time. People come and people go, just make the most of the time that they are around.

Spring semester has resumed. Wish me luck. With any skill, I will finish up the year with a very high 3.XX GPA, w00t!

NO, NO, NO... I HIGHLY recommend choice B! Trust me... years of fighting, yes FIGHTING, with financial aid has made me realize that screaming at them and sometimes chaining yourself to their office chair is the only way to get anything accomplished!

About Me

Me: I am simple. Not to say that I am uninteresting, I just am not unnecessarily complicated.
I like people who start a conversation with something other than "What do you do?" Ask better questions: Why? What if? How?
Don't tell me what you do. Tell me what you know, why you know it and how that has impacted you. Tell me about things from your past that have shaped the person that you have become. Tell me that you are happy with yourself and why. But, please don't define yourself or me by the jobs that we undertake. Then tell me that you are good with questioning your assumptions.
I enjoy good conversation with good people. People who exhibit kindness as a default, instead of criticism and anger.
I smile a lot. I enjoy laughter. I write for fun. I sing often. I prefer a hug as a standard greeting. I look at things from the outside.I am empathic & empathetic. I am direct. I love uncontrollably. I don't appreciate being over-whelmed by absurdity.
